Madison car dealers and drivers alike know that winter in Wisconsin changes the driving conditions and can affect the condition of your car. At Zimbrick Automotive, the service technicians at our Madison car dealership can help winterize your vehicle to prepare it for the cold weather and snow and ensure that it’s ready to safely and reliably get you everywhere you need to go.
Winter Car Care Tips
One of the easiest ways to prepare your car for the winter is to keep up with routine maintenance. At your regular service appointments, the technicians can perform all the necessary care and take extra steps to prepare your vehicle for the winter. Make sure your tires are ready to handle the snow, ice, and slippery conditions and your brakes are in the best condition so you can come to a complete stop on those slippery roads.
Doing so is vital to feeling more confident regardless of the forecast. These service appointments are an investment in your vehicle’s condition and safety. Brake and tire service, combined with other routine maintenance aspects like battery service, will ensure your car is ready for the winter weather.
Winterizing Your Vehicle at Your Local Dealership
Aside from routine maintenance, there are other ways the service technicians can winterize your vehicle, so there’s no guesswork, and you don’t need to figure out the DIY process.
Changing your wiper blades is essential in winterizing your vehicle because you’ll need quality wipers to keep your windshield free of snow and precipitation throughout the winter. Additionally, all your fluids must be topped off, from your antifreeze to your wiper fluid and everything in between, to support your engine and promote visibility.
Practicing Safe Driving
Other ways to stay safe while driving during the winter include keeping your gas tank at least half full to prevent fuel lines from freezing and completely clearing snow from your windows, lights, and other areas of your car necessary for complete visibility. On icy roads, reduce your speed and always slow to a stop well before you need to to avoid sliding and colliding with the vehicle in front of you.
Investing in a Safe and Reliable Vehicle
If you don’t have a safe or reliable vehicle you can count on during the winter weather, it’s time you invest in one that you can. You don’t need to search the car lots in Madison because we have a variety of sedans, SUVs, and trucks with safety features that can help you feel more confident on the road year-round. We can help you find your next new vehicle that will make driving during every season in Wisconsin a safer and more enjoyable experience.
The Wisconsin Winters can be brutal, but when you winterize your vehicle and take steps to practice safe driving, you can get through the winter months safely and with confidence.
